A symbolic and ideal railing seems to separate, in Claudia Del Giudice’s work, background the light of aluminium, a here and an elsewhere. In which, natural and metaphorical times, physical reference and conceptual tension confront each other. Marking the boundary of these two references, in psychological and emotional reflection, is the presence of two dragonflies: signs of a spiritual condition poised between the contingency of the present and the dimension of dreams.
